METHOD OF ELEVATING AND DELIVERING WATER FROM WELLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 29,677, dated August21, 1860; Reissued June 28,

l1864, No. 1,712.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES DAYKIN, of Cleveland, in the county ofCuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new aud useful Improvements inTater-Drawers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andcomplete description of the construction and operation of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which Figure l, is a perspective view, Figs. 2, 3, andet, detached sections, which will be referred to in the followingdescription. Fig. 5, is a view of the rope.

Like letters denote like parts in the different views.

The nature of my improvement relates to a water drawer, constructed witha bucket, weight, and pulley. The bucket is so arranged in reference toa board extending across the case, that while the valve in the bucket isopened by means of a rod extending from this valve, and pressing againstthe board, the bucket is tipped, placing the spout of the bucketdirectly over the spout of the case. The rope also is so constructed asto always bring the bucket up in the right direction with reference tothe spouts.

A, in Fig. l, represents the case or curb, partly broken out to show thearrangement of the apparatus inside for drawing water.

B, is the top of the case removed.

C, represents the pulley that is turned by the crank D, by means ofwhich the bucket E, is raised or lowered. There are small pins, c,representing one of them in the groove of the pulley, to prevent therope or band from slipping.

F, is a weight to which is secured the standards G, H, between whichrevolves the pulley I, thatrolls on the rope S, and counter balances thebucket E. The rope may be of any length according to the depth of thewell. In Fig. l, the end of the rope, is represented as passing upthrough an opening in the cross piece C, and kept there securely by thekey B, but it can be fastened in any other suitable way.

K, represents a board placed across the case, in the center of which isan opening, through which passes the rope that is attached to thebucket. This board is placed in an inclined position for the purpose oftipping the bucket, as is more clearly shown in Fig. 2. The rope beingfastened to the bail in the center of the bucket, the bucket will ascendin a .horizontal position and of course it will touch the lower part ofthe board at K, first, and the bucket will `be in the position shown inthe drawing; but by turning the crank a little more, the rod L, that isconnected with the valve is forced down opening the valve, and at thesame time the bucket is brought up parallel with the board K, and is inthe position indicated by the lines E, bringing the spout E', of thebucket directly over the spout A, of the case. In this way we see thatas the valve opens to discharge the water, the spout E', is with thesame motion brought over the other spout. With this arrangement, thebucket no sooner begins to descend than it regains its horizontalposition, otherwise it would hit against the edge of the spout A.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the bucket, showing the construction andoperation of the valve. The lower end of the rod L, is jointed to aprojection N, of the valve VL Between the upper and lower pieces formingthis valve, there is a leather packing e, that extends back and isscrewed to the bucket, preventing the valve from leaking, and answeringthe purpose of a flexible joint. l/Vhen the bucket is drawn up, the rodL, pressing against the board K, as before described, is forced down andthe valve opens as indicated by the dotted lines, and the water flowsfreely out at the opening a, into the spout E', and into the spout- A.There is a clasp e', on the end of the rope that is attached to thebucket, that passes up through the slot in the board K, which insures a.direct and uniform motion to the tipping of the bucket.

Fig. Llfis a top view showing a portion of the interior of the spout A',the red line indicating the position of the spout E, when the bucket istipped.

An enlarged view of the rope is shown in Fig. 5, consisting of fourropes placed side by side, in such a way that the coils are reversedfroin each other. They are then joined firmly together; forming a flatrope or band, that will not twist either way, but always bring thebucket up in the right direction with reference to the spouts; the spoutof the bucket being brought indirect Contact with the discharging spoutA. Ini stead of four ropes joined together in this way there may be anynumber, two or more. Ropes constructed in this way will not twist orturn like the ordinary single rope, that is, the ropes must be twistedin opposite directions.

When the bucket E is drawn snugly to the under side of the board K, andthe water discharged, the weight F, having ldescended to its lowestpoint, will be suflicient to keep the upper end ofthe bucket nearly incontact with the underside of the board K, which will consequentlyperform the oiiice of a cover, to prevent leaves and other matter waftedby the wind, from getting into the bucket. At the same time, by means ofthe same weight F, the valve stem L, will be kept pressed downsufliciently to hold the valve M slightly open, and this will allow acirculation of air through the bucket, which will prevent it frombecoming foul, as would be the case, if a portion of water were allowedto remain in the bottom of the bucket.

The top of the case A should be pierced with holes, to facilitate thecirculation of air, as seen at B.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The inclined board K, performing the several functions described, incombination with the spouts A and E, bucket E, valve M, rod L, rope S,and counter balance weight F, the whole being constructed arranged andoperated in the manner and for the purpose set forth. Y

JAMES DAYKIN. Witnesses:
